I am looking to buy a temp controller what's yalls advice and what Is a good one to get and pro and cons

My advice is to e-mail Jonathan ( @stlcharcoal ) at http://rockwoodcharcoal.com and ask him for a phone number. then give him a call ... he's very knowledgeable about controllers (kind of a gadget freak) and will guide you towards the best for your need/want. Also, he normally has the best mail order price ...
PS ... Jonathan once talked me out of buying a unit that I really didn't need ... that's honesty in action.

Cons it's not cheap.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL -

Really depends what your looking for, since I already had a maverick to tell me grate anD meat temp, I opted for The auber just to control the grill. That combo cost me $220ish. If you want one that does all consider what it cost for individual units

Or you could have a drunk egger sleep out by your eggs overnight and you get a temp controller for 5 eggs. Not that I would know about that or anything.They/Them

I have the CyberQ. It's worked great but if you want to leave your house, your wifi area, setting up port fwding on your router can be a pita. For that, the flame boss 200 excels since you monitor your cook off their server. If I had to do it again, I might go the flame boss routeLBGE, AR. Lives in N.E. ATL

I'm happy with my Stoker but if I were doing it all over right now, I'd give the tip top unit a try. Very cheap. After my experience with the Stoker though, I can't go back. Love the remote connectivity and graphing my cooks. Geek out and BBQ...doesn't get any better.

I have to disagree with the Stoker. Mine is a royal PITA. Haven't used it in months. Decided to give it another try last night and I lost another cook due to it. Easily the worst thing I've ever bought eggwise.

I slept in the hammock last night, babysitting my cook. Loved sleeping under the stars.
When the temp alarm went off, I was in deep sleep and it took me a while to figure out where I was!

I will add that their customer service is terrible and it took an act of Congress to get them to communicate with me. I bet I called and emailed at least a dozen times before I got return communication. I'm on my second unit and still no bueno.

I like my Rock's BBQ Stoker and use it all the time. But like mentioned, their customer service SUCKS.Aledo, Texas
